One of the most remarkable executions that has occurred in front of the debtor's door of the Old Bailey,since the year • 1828, took place this morning, namely, the carrying into . _ effect the dread sentence of the law on five of the men con• vioted at the last sessions of the Central Court of the mur- der of the captain, the captain's brother, the first mate, the steward, 000 k and lamptriramer of the unfortunate ship Flowery Land, who loft the port of London in September of last year for Singapore. Eight of the crew, viz., Juan Leon, Francisco Blanco, Marco VArto, Ambrosio, Miguel Lopez, Marsalino, Les Santos, and George Carlos, w ere i r di c t e d for the murder, but the latter, Carlos, was acquitted of the capital crime, the remaining seven being found guilty and sentenced to death. Some days ago Mr. Beard, the solicitor for the defence on the trial, acting in concert with the Spanish Consul, pre pared a memorial stating tho grounds on which the con victs Santos and Marsalino besought the clemency of the Crown. They submitted that throughout the whole of the trial no evidence was adduced on behalf of the prosecu- tion to show that either Santos or MarsalinO took a direct part in the murder of the captain. The evidence against them, they said, went chiefly to show that after the murder they were present at conversations between the second mate, TaMr, and the priso ne r Lyons, who acted as _ __ . . - spokesman for the rest of thecrew ; that they shared in the division of the captain's money, and were present when the order was given to the carpenter to scuttle the ship. Anderson, the carpenter, on the trial deposed to Marsala° having conveyed to him by signs that it was he who struck him with a capstan bar while the carpenter was assisting the chief mate from the deck after ho had been beaten. Mersalino represents that the carpenter had altogether misunderstood him in. 'thlt respect, and that what ho meant to convey Was that it was th, priaoner Watto who struck him. This was corroborated by the pri soners Lopez and Blanco, and th e y, with the rest of the convicts, state that so far f rom b e l ug an accomplice in the murder Marsalino was oppo se d twit, and also to the subse quent acts of violence. On behalf of Santos it was urged that he was unable to help the cqotain or prevent his mur der, as he had wished to do, The result of the exertions made to save the lives of the two men was that Mr, Jonas; the Governor of Ncwgate, received a communication from the Ilome-office, under the hand of Sir George Grey, re spiting the sentence of death in, the_ cases of .the convicts Les Santos and Marsalino daring her Mojestrs pleasure, and an intimation that the five other convicts, namely, Leon, Blanco, Dlranna, Watto, and Lopez would remain for execution. and fell backward as the rope was being placed round bis neck. A chair was then brought, on which he was allowed to sit until the rest of the preparations were made, and it fell with the drop. The excitement among the crowd while the convicts were being arranged on the seafffid was intense, and evinced itself in the hoarse murmur peculiar on such occasions.. The preparations having been con cluded the drop fell, and all the five convicts soon ceased to live. Their bodies, after hanging the usual time, were re moved from the public gaze, to be buried within the pre cincts of the prison, in conformity with the sentence. None of the convicts made any formal confession. Leon alone, in general terms, spoke of the share he had taken in the mutiny, but said it was not such as, in his opinion, to have called for the forfeiture of his life. The windows of all the houses in front of the gaol mere filled with spe:ltators, who, in some instances, paid as much as 10 guineas for accommodation on Sunday nigh, and a good view of the execution in the morning. The extent of the crowd may be imagined when we say that it extended along the Old BAitey to Ludgate•hill on the ono side, entirely.filling Gsltspur-street, and into Smith field on the other, besidos occupying the immense open space in between Newgate and 'St. Sspnleher's Church, extending as far down Snow Hill as a glimpse of the gallows could be had. The number present could not have boon less than from 30,000 to 40►,000. Up to the present time we have not hoard of a single accident. It may be mentioned that in all the Catholic churches in the metropolis yesterday prayers were offered for the doomed men. MARKETS--This Day. 2'TARK-LA.NE. Na quotable ehabgl took p!aco in the value of wheat in the country marketa on Saturday. The trade was, however, slow, both for ro t ; and white qualities. Malting barley ru:ed fi:ta at fail eurren,,,:es; tut other de,:oriptions of spring corn were in limited rccp.,2st ht low rates. The flair trade was quiet on former terms. New York letters state that the exhort inquiry for wheat and flour had somewhat abated, anci that prices ruled the turn lower. On the Confluent the sal& pf bread stuffs has fluctuated to a very limited extent. _ . The arrivals of English grain up to our market last wee: - were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 11,874 quarters: of wheat, 12,841 barley, 0,065 oats, GOO beans, 75 peas, 2,714 tares, 47...5 1in5eed,.5,42.0 oilseeds, 3,015 malz.?, .2,60 seeds, and 3,k0) bales of flour. A somewhat ipereased supply of home-grown wheat - was received 'fresh up to this morning's market, and the condi tion of the produce exhibited a slight improvement. Owing to the prevailing frosty .weather, factors commenced busi ness by demanding is per quarter more money both for red and white qualities. Millers, however, were indisposed to make purchases except on the terms of this day se'nnight ; consequently; the state of the trade was vary inactive. The amount at business done was of hut moderate extent, at the full prices of Monday last. There was a fair show of most descriptions of foreign wheat on the stands. Good and fine American parcels moved off steadily at fully previous quotations; otherwise, the foreign wheat trade was quiet, yet prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of wheat and other grain were in mode rate request, and late rates were steadily supported. The show of home-grown barley on offer was of fair average extent. With foreign produce the market:was well surplied. With the exception of good and fine qualities, for ;Which there was a steady demand at full prices, the trade ruled quiet at last Monday' s currency. About an average business was transacted in malt at full quotations, The supply of foreign oats on sale was moderate, and the show of English, Scotch, and especially Irish qualities on the stands was tolerably large. The trade for all descrip tions was dull, and inferior parcels were rather lower in price than on Monday last. The supply of beans on sale was moderately extensive. However, they commanded a steady sale, and late rates were fairly supported. • Peas were in fair average request at full quotations. There was a moderate supply on offer. For flour thero was a moderate inquiry. In prices no change took place. French qualities were in good supply, but barrels were rather scarce. For some days the utmost precaution have been taken by the police authorities in the City for the prevention of acci dents. The usual style of barriers invariably erected at the top of all the thoroughfares into the Old Bailey, were laid aside as useless, Lut in their place others of extra ordinary strength were placed, and on. Saturday the whole of the space is the Old Bailey, from Ludgate-hill to New gate-street, and thence along Giltspur-street towards Smithfield, was intersected by formidable barriers placed at short invervals, to lessen the pressure and to prevent the fearful swaying and surging of the multitude that was cer tain to assemble on the terrialo occasion. In addition to this the footways on each side of the Old Bailey from Newgate street to Ludgate-hill are guarded by strong barricades, to afford means of exit in case of need, and hoardings have been put to prevent people clinging to the chevaux de• frise which runs along the low wall of the courtyard of the Sessions house, or;to any of the projecting parts of the architecture. A. similar arrangement has been made in front of St. Sepulchre's Church, which commands a view of the place of execution, and, where, on this very day of the month, 57 years ago, at an execution for the murder of Mr. Steele, about 30 people were killed by the giving way of an iron palisading, to which they had clung while standing on the wall of the churchyard. If a person this morning could have placed himself upon some high eminence and have obtained a clear perspective view of London, he would have seen, wending their way through the principal thoroughfares between the hours when the great city is ordinarily hushed in silence, people of all classes and both sexes seemingly bent upon one and the same destination. Perhaps, at a considerable distance from the genetal place of rendezvous, the echo of the streets was only disturbed by the hurried tramp of solitary pedestrians, bat as the distance grew less the number of persons in the streets increased, and the actual spot to which, as it were, the different streams of moving humanity ran was one large mass of people filling the footways. Strange it is that the morbid tastes and feel • ing of the people to witness a public strangulation are so great that remaining throughout the night in the street on a bitter winter's night with the thermomenter six degrees below freez ing point, squeezed on all sides by a mob, and the probability of being seriously injured, or robbed, are not thought too great risks to encounter, in order to witness the terrible drama of which the frowning and black Old Bailey was to ba the scene. Hundreds of people assembled last night, and they kept gradually inure: ing in numbers, until at six o'clock this mornirg all the approaches to the place of execw ion were completely blot.ked up. • Better o:dcr was preserved than could be expeetr.•:l, owing to the was,: indafatigabl© efforts of the police, who mustered in groat force, The crushing an 3 swaying to and fro of the crowd, notwithstanding all their cfF.orts, was terrific, and every now and then the polico had to renew their efforts to prevent the barriers yielding to the enormous pressure put upon them. For some time be- fore 3 o'cllck the whole place presented the appearance of a fair. Boys and girls, the refuse of the neighbourhood of Rateliff, Wapping, the Mint, and other low neighbourhoods, together 'with men and women from the same parts of the nietropolis, formed a great proportion of the motley multitude. Venders of brandy-balls, hot potatoes, and hot pies pursued their vocation with great success, perhaps the most comfortable thing procurable for money, on such a morning, was a hot potatoe, which offered to those not disposed to oat, a warmth to the hands which was, to all appearance, a vary general desire. The chief conversation appeared to turn upon the novelty of, so many being hung together, and the observa tion, "I wonder whether they will die Omo," was fre quently to be heard. The machine of death was placed in the usual position in root of the Debtor's Door. It Was an enormous looking construction, covered with black cloth, and compared with that generally used, it would be at least three times its size. The Sheriffs of London, Mr. Nissen and Mr. Grave, with Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Gammon, the Under Sheriffs, arrived at Newgate about 7 o'clock a nd waited until the hour fixed for the execution. F r om an earlier hour in the morning the priests who had b e en in attendance , on the doomed men since their conviction wore again with them, and remained until the last. M. Morphinoz, Archmandrite of the Greek Church in London-wall, at tended upon the convict Watto, and th e o ther four received the consolations of religion from the lips of the Rev. James Hussey of the Roman Catholic Chapel in Moor fields, and Fathers Joseph Louis and Hermann, the last named two being Spanish priests. Shortly before 8 o'clock the Sheriffs and Under Sheriffs, who wore their respective robes and badges of office, accompanied by Mr. Jonas, the Governor of Newgate, the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Chaplain, and Mr. Gibson, the surgeon, went in procession to the part of the prison in which the convicts were spending their last moments. On this occasion each of the five prisoners was brought out from his cell in rota ion, and pinioned at the entrance to it. This was a precautionary measure to prevent men with charac ters so desperate as these of the convicts from having any communication at such a time. Watto was first brought out to be bound. He had greatly improved in ap pearance since his trial, when he was ono of the least pre possessing of them all, if such a term could indeed be applied to any one of the prisoners. Unlike all the rest, who were men of swarthy complexion, Lopez perhaps excepted, lie was of fair visage, with a profusion of light brown hair, and his youthful countenance now bore a touching and resigned expression. lie submitted quietly to th e warder near who had attended him since his conviction, h e b ec k on ed him to him. As the man approached, Watto, wh o se hands ware then bound, bent forward, with process of pinion ing, and, at its conclusion, seeing a a grateful look, to kiss him on the cheek. The warder declined the proffered salute, upon which it was explained to the convict,' lest he should feel hurt, that it was a mode of parting to which men in this country were unaccustomed' Lopez, a short, slightly made man, next submitted himself to the hands of the executioner, exhibiting as he did so the same defiant and reckless air which had characterised him through out the trial. It is said of him that on leaving the dock atter sentence of death had been pronounced by Baron Bramwell he attempted to dance a reel, until the act of indecorum was repressed by the gaoler. Daranno, a mere lad in appearance, then underwent the process of pinioning, and was the only one yet who had shown any symptoms of a famt heart. After him came Blanco, who had taken the most conspicuous and relentless part in the murders. lie it was, with Duranno. who as sailed the first mato on the dock with handspikes, and • he threw him, while mercy, into the sea. stabbed the captain yethAaf v t ei alivert i w g a b r e d a rts t ,n e d n ws h i ht i h m n i kti nearly nw go poitt eh t o o eur death ssl, y h foro three times as the unfortunate man lay, asleep in his berth. He also took part in the murder of the cap tain's brother. Now, however, Blanco, physically the strongest of all the five, was the moat subdued and faint hearted of all. Two crucifixes as ere suspended from his neck, and though all of the convicts appeared to be amenable to religious consolation, Blanco seemed the most susceptible, in that respect, of all. He hung, as it were, on the words with which his priest tried to cheer him, and at his request a tract was given him, whi c h appeared to have been forgotten for the moment, and which he placed in his bosom. Leon was the last to be bound, and ho 'hem the ordeal with the quiet com poeure which had marked his bearing on the trial. These preparations ever, the convicts were escorted to the scaffold by the Sheriffs and the rust of the authorities, the prison bell tolling the while. They all walked without assistance, and Lopez, with a light, jaunty air. For a few moments they were seated in a corridor, where Blanco an l Duranno becoming faint, tcok some stimulant which was handed fc. , them, as did also Lopez. They wore then ono afi.er another conducted to the seafteld, and placed in a row on the drop,.

With a view to the comfort of her Majesty and the Royal family, the day being bit terly cold, with heavy snow storms, the South Western Company had proVided 12 newly-designed copper feet-warmers, two feet long and a foot broad, made like flat footstools, and manufactured ex pressly for this journey. The Royal train left Gosport at noon, in charge of Mr. Godson, the traffic superintendent of the above line, who accompanied it to Basingstoke, which was reached at 1.13 p.m., the illustri ous passengers encountering a heavy snow storm between the last named place and Winchester. At Basingstoke the train was taken in charge by Mr. Tyrrell, the traffic superintendent of the Great Western Railway ; Mr. Saunders, the secretary, accompanying it to the Windsor terminus, where her Majesty arrived at 2.18 p.m. Mr. Burlinson, the Slough superintendent, and Mr. Matthews, were in attendance on the platform, which was crowded by spectators, largely sprinkled with ladies, while outside the station were five of the Royal carriages and several breaks, the postilions and drivers of which wore their scarlet liveries for the first time. beneath their overcoats, since her Majesty has been in mourning. The Royal party on leaving the train were conducted to two carriages, each drawn by a pair of white horses, her Majesty taking her seat in the first, having graciously returned the silent though cordial salutions of the bystanders on passing across the platform. The Queen, who was still in mourning, appeared in good health, while the youthful Prince and Princesses, who have doffed their mourning, could not have looked better after their journey. There was no guard of honour at the station, but the bells at St. George's Chapel and St. John's Church rang out merry peals as the Royal party arrived, and left the station for the Castle, which was reached shortly before half-past two in the afternoon. His Royal Highneas Prince Arthur arrived at the Castle in the evening, and the Right Hon. Sir G. Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, also arrived at Windsor Castle on a visit to her Majesty. The Court will probably remain at Windsor for about three months.

AMATEUR THEATRICALS.—On Friday evening an amateur performance was given at the Queen's Concert Room, Hanover-square, which attracted a more than ordinarily fashionable audience. The pieces selected for representation were the three act drama "Plot and Passion," and Morton's laughable farce of " Whitebait at Greenwich." The most remarkable performance of the evening was that of Mr. Palgrave Simpson, who sustained the part of the M. Desmasets in the drama. Without, of course, attempting to compare it with the embodiment of the part by Mr. Robson when the piece was first produced at the Olympic Theatre, we may with truth say of Mr. Simpson's version of the character that it was quite a surprize to the audience. It was marked by the greatest intensity, and we could hardly imagine it to be the performance of a gentleman familiar with the stage only as an amusement. Henri de Neuville was also well and powerfully repre sented by Mr. C. Stephenson, and the Fouche Hof Mr. Augustus Spalding was a performance deserving the highest praise. Miss Aylmer Blake, as Marie, and Miss Owenas Cecile, well sustained the high honours ladies invariably secure at all amateur performances. In the farce we have to notice particularly the pexformanee of Mr Quintin Twiss, as Jacob Small, as a most mirth-exciting effort, and with a complimentary word to Mr. Stephenson and Mr. S, Bradshaw for the ability they also displayed, we again have to award honour and praise to the ladies. Miss Sullivan as Miss Lucretia Buzzard, was particularly excel lent, and from the admirable manner with which wo re membeiher to have sustained the character of Mrs. Malaprop some few years since, we regret that she had not a part better calculated to display the talent she undoubt edly possesses. Miss Dart, by her excellent acting, made the little part of Sally tell immensely. At the fall of the curtain the applauso was unanimous and enthusiastic. The celebrated band of " Wandering Minstrels" on this occasion officiated in the orchestra, and many of the compositions performed by them elicited the highest approbation, CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Sales, consequently, piogressed slowly at about stationary prices. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up were rather limited. The supply from Scotland was good, from Ireland inferior. Generally speaking, the beef trade was slow; nevertheless, Thursday's currency was well supported. The top figure for beef was ss, bat only prime Scots and crosses realised 5s 2d per Slbs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire amounted to 1,800 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 310 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. - Charlotte Hehl, a married woman, about 50 years of age, residing at 21, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, was charged before Mr. Ty rwhitt with attempting to destroy her life. George Hell, an old man, the husband, who said he was a music engraver, stated that on the previous day his wife attempted to hang herself to the bed post. She had secured the rope to the bedpost, than fastened it round her neck, and jumped off the bedstead, and but for his promptly cut ting the rope she would have been strangled. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the husband whether she had ever attempted such a thing before ? The husband said she attempted a similar thing about twelve months ago, when she was brought before the ma gistrate at this court, who advised him to take her home with him. The Chief Clerk asked how the prisoner's face became so disfigured ? The husband saii that while under the influence of liquor a few nights ago his wife attacked him like a tigress. He kept her off as well as he could, but as there was a death struggle he had to strike her in self-defence. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the husband might have struck his somewhere else but in the eyes; but he (Mr. Tyrwhitt) should have thought there was no occasion to have struck her at all, and that he could have held her. It was a sad business, and the wile appeared to have been badly used. The prisoner said she was greatly in fault. Mr. 'Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner whether she drank, and she mi.:a she did. • _ _ _ - _ The husband eaid his wire was an habitual drunkard. _ _ _ Nr. Tyrwhitt again observed that the prisoner had boon roughly used. Ho would remand her for a week, and hoped she would attend to what was said to her, or she would surely come to a miserable end—self murder being a most dreadful thing. The prisoner, whose taco was much disfigured, was then remanded. PICKING POCKETS IN A SHOP.—John Smith, a boy, liv ing in French-alley, St. Luke's, was charged with picking the pocket of Hannah Stocker, cook at 2G, Russell-square, of a purso containing Ll 15s. The prosecutor was in the shop of Mr. Lewis, cheese monger, Tottenham-court•road, and about to pay a bill, whoa the prisoner picked her pocket of her purse and con tents. . Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. FIVE REASONS FOR NOT GETTING DnuNK,—Charles Geary, a carman, was charged with being drank and inca pable of taking care of a van and horses of which he had charge. Police-constable Samuel Geary (not related to the de fendant), 267 A, said that, between six and seven on Saturday evening, he found the defendant in the K'ing's road, Chelsea, with some horses and a van. He was so intoxicated as to be perfect unfit to drive them with safety to the public. The van was laden with coals, and a man who appeared to know the defendant came up and offered to take charge of the team and deliver the coals, but defendant refused to allow him to do so. Mr. Selfe—W hat have you to say to this ? Defendant—Well, I had some drink, and it got the better of me. _ _ . Mr. Selfe—Not an unusual thing if you take too much of it. You were unable to deliver your coals, and when a man offered to take them for you, it seems you refused to let him. Defendant—l had money on tickets for the coals to be delivered, and therefore I was afraid to deliver them to any one else, as he might have. taken the money from customers and stuck to it. Mr. Selfe—You should have kept sober, and attended to your business, instead of getting drunk. Defendant—l only took a drop of drink, and there isn't much in that. Mr. Selfe—Yes, there is a great deal in a man getting drunk who has charge of a carriage of any kind and horses. Accidents result from it, children are run over and killed, woman knocked down and injured. I must fine yon. Defendant—l hope nat. I have a wife and fivo children. to maintain. Five children are a good deal to keep. Mr. Selfe—They are five reasons for your not getting drunk. You are fined 10s., or seven days. I cannot have drunken drivers about the streets. keta are very moderate, but the supply of stale produce on offer is somewhat extensive.

The Boiler Explosion at Aberaman, -v ABERDARE, Thursday. THAMES. DEATH FROM DRUNKENNESS.—Inspeetor Honey, of the K division, called the attention of Mr. Paget, the magis trate, to the first drunken case of the list, and said he re gretted that the prisoner, who was the subject of that charge, was dead. A poor basket woman was found drunk in Bow, opposite the Church, at 8 o'clock on Saturday evening, and was brought to the station-house by a police constable. She appeared to be very ill, and he immediately sent for the aid of Mr. Garman, a surgeon who was in the station in a few minutes. The medical gentleman pro. scribed for ' the woman, and she received every possible attention until '2 o'clock on Sunday morning, when she ex- pired. Mr. Paget—This is a very serious matter. Has the poor Woman's death been caused by destitution ? Inspector Honey—No, sir, she was not destitute. She had L 5 in money about her, of which £t 103. was in gold. There were 18 oranges in a basket, which were brought to the station house with hcr. • Mr. Paget—What is the cause of death ? Inspector Homey— I rather think it is apoplexy, y our worship. Mr. Paget—What is the name of the woman ? Inspector to v give her e namey—l don't o ra know, adr es your she w i o s r sahbiopu. dead," esa S sd h , y e : w aa n a l de s too ill of ago. Mr. Paget marked the police sheet "reported said information must be sent to the coroner. Inspector Honey—That has been done. HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY. -- The American papers state that permission has been asked for their military authorities to pursue the Sioux Indians in the Hudson Bay territory. In a note to Lord Lyons, dated the 21st ult., Secretary Seward states that those Indians should either be restrained from making hostilo incursions into the United States territory, or United States troops should be allowed to pursue, suWue, and disperse them. A report from General Pope to the War Department shows that the English Government has no force in the Red River region to control these Indians. Lord Lyons, in a note of Jan. 22, says ho has referred the mattter to his Government, by which it will not fail to bo inuuediafely taken into conside ration. The full extent of the recent calamity at Abera man is now known. Nine lives were lost, and no leis than 17 men and boys were injured by the boiling water and clouds of stones, slabs, and heavy pieces of iron that descended within a radius of a hundred yards of the boiler-shed. The moment the terrible report eves heard the workpeople ran, screaming, as fast as they could from the spot, but numbers were caught by the falling ruins. As soon as those who escaped had recovered from the first effects of their surprise they approached the maul of bricks, molten metal, splintered beams, and frag ments of iron, comprised in the heap of rubbish formed by the fall of the boiler through the forge roof, in search of the unfortareete persons who had been crushed underneath. The t03:7 of a man named Evan Rees, l a b ourer , win dragged out dead. One of his hands had b een cu t cff, and was not recovered until this morning. A horse which had been blown from the ash-holes under the boilers, under the fire of one of the puddling furnaces, had been broiled to death. Mr. George Naysmith, the mechanic, and son of the manager, was found wounded, but not dead. He had been standing at a distance of SI yards from the boilers, when he was struck on the side of the head with a large piece of iron, which inflicted a frightful gash, and exposed the beck por tion of the brain. Small hopes are entertained of his recovery. Patrick Castello and Thomas Tones were found scalded to death by the; water, having been previously dashed into a bed of hot ashes. The engineer was buried beneath the ruins of engine house, end with him were two fitters. Among the injured were several men strange to the place, and not known by any of the work men. It is presumed that they were looking for employment at the time. Ono of them was struck by a jagged piece of iron on the cheek. Another is stated to have had his nose cut off by part of a plate as it flew past. These men were utterly destitute, and were much pitied by the crowds who met them as they left the scene of the accident. The surgeons of the works were promptly in attendance, and administered to the sufferers such relief as was within their power. The boilers were tubular, about 25ft long and 9ft in dia mote:, made up of 5-8 plates, with a pressure of 401 b to the square inch, and, it is stated, have been in use about 18 years—in fact, ever since the starting of the works. Some idea of the force of the explosion may be conceived when it is mentioned that the boilers were seen while in the air from Cwmbach, a place at least two miles distant, and from which the engine-house at Aberaman is screened by a rising ground. One of the tanks was driven with terrible velocity through the forge mills across the yard, and deposited on a bank at the edge of a stream more than 100 yards distant, while one of the boiler ends was hurled with enormous force over the whole shed in another direction, and thrown into the middle of the river. Of course the works are at a stand, and this morning men were engaged is drawing out the three blast furnaces. Hundreds of hands will in consequence be temporarily thrown out of employ ment. Few persons know the tediousness and cost liness of the process except those who are practi cally acquainted with the operation. The engine house will have to b 3 entirely rebuilt, and the boiler beds, which were rent asunder with tremendous force, will also have to be rebuilt. Strange to say, the machinery of the blast engine, which it was be- Hued at first was almost all destroyed, pretty w ell escaped the violence that was expended upon it, and is not much the worse for what it has under gone. A word or twoas to the cause of the accident. The blast engine is driven by seven immense boilers, of which the exploded ones are Nos, 1 and 2, and from these boilers a feed pipe conveys the steam to another powerful engine erected close at hand, which works the mill. Oa Wednesday the mill engine was idle all the day, and shortly before the accident occurred the blast engine was also stopped while the piston was being packed. The valves of the boilers ought to have been opened during the stoppage to allow the excess of steam to escape, instead of which they were kept closed. The result was that the generation of steam went on until it attained a pressure too great for the boiler to resist, and the explosion followed. A preliminary inquest will be held, in order that the bodies may be interred, and the inquiry will then be adjourned for some days. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, BETTING AT MANCHESTER, SATURDAY. Although our list of quotations is of a somewhat lengthy character, the betting at the Post-office Hotel this day was not so extensive as might be imagined, considering that the weights for all the Spring Handicaps have for several weeks been fairly before the public. A few books having been opened on the Lincolnshire Handicap, some trivial invest ments were made thereon, the horses most inquired after being Benjamin, Suburban, and Anglo-Saxon. For the Liverpool Steeplechase Bantam remained the favourite, but less than 11 to 1 was refused about him. Emblematic, Wor cester, Jerusalem, and Amy were rather freely supported at our quotations, and, at the finish, 20 to 1 each was the highest offer against Worcester and Jerusalem. Emblem, Wee Noll, and Portland had no backers, although 100 to 6 was offered against either horse. Blackdown was slightly a better favourite than Change for Chester Cup, but any advance upon 20 to 1 would have been taken freely about each horse. There was also money in the market for Muezzin, but la y ers against him were scarce. For the Derby 10 to 1 was offered on the field, but eleven " ponies" could not be obtained about Scottish Chief, and the only bet on that event was ,000 to 10 against Copenhagen.
